June 1, 2015: Locals raise Nickels for Nepal - One month after devastating earthquakes
​
After interview yesterday with News Channel 9 Hannah Lawrence, we received two calls today to help Nepali children.
One from Caryl Napier of GA and Chris Smith of Chattanooga.
Caryl donated a large quantity of emergency kits including toothpaste, toiletries and kids activities which we delivered to Chris to take with him on his flight Wednesday morning to Kathmandu.
Chris Smith will meet up with Nawaraj Baskota of Kavya School in New Baneshwor Kathmandu, Nepal and spend a month helping with construction needs and search and rescue.
